Hello Community!

Is there a way in strategy to make active a break even function and a trailing stop function?

In fact I test some strat (i.e. FractalLines.java in JSTORE called "Fractal Break Out") and when you set a stop at 10 pips, a Break even trigger at 10pips positivs with stop move at 0, and a trailing stop trigger at 30pips, only the break even works.

I expected that after 10 pips positiv, the stop will move at 0 (open order level) for the break even.
And when I 'm 30pips positiv, my stop should move at 20 pips positiv with the trailing stop.

In fact, if I set the BE at trigger=0 and shift(or pips saved) =0 , the trailing stop does the job as expected.
If I set the BE, the trailing stop doesn't work.

Is there an error in the code or is it impossible to add BE and Stop trailing actives in the same strategy??

Thanks a lot for any help.

Hi,

There are probably bugs in the code. BE and trailing SL could work next to each other. Why should it not work?

Hi, thanks for answer, and happy to know that there can't be any conflict between a B.E. and a S.T. used in the same trade(I had some doubts...!)

To answer to your question, I had a bad experience in a strategy where the stop moved to break even and the traling stop was blinking behind the price without suppression of the break even.
So when the trade reverse, the stop trailing didn't do the job and the trade was finally closed on break even (which stayed at the "same place").

In the FractalLine strategy it is an other probleme but can't find where is the error in the code...

cheers,
